Christmas in Downtown Crystal Lake

The most exciting and anticipated time of year is upon us. This year’s holiday will top all others, with carolers strolling through the streets, Santa making special visits to his house, and a host of other holiday surprises.

Luminary Nights

Luminary Nights have become a cherished tradition for many families in the community. For three nights in December, the streets of Downtown Crystal Lake will be illuminated. Shop late and take advantage of the extended hours at your favorite stores while strolling downtown admiring the luminaries. You can enjoy Santa House visits, live holiday music, and more. Luminary Nights take place Thursdays, December 7, 14, and 21 from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Santa House Visits

Bring the children to the Santa House in the Brink Street Market courtyard. Magic is in the air at the Santa House! The jolly old man will visit with the children, listening to their wish lists every Thursday – Sunday. Santa House hours are Thursdays and Fridays 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., and Sundays 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. There is no charge for the visits, but the memories are priceless.

Christmas Tree Lane in Peppermint Park
